Reports
The beleivers here held their centenary conference in late 2011 with John Riddle and David West. David West remained for 2 nights' ministry. The assembly also marked 100yrs in its present building with a series of six powerful gospel meetings with Ian Jackson, including also the 400th centenary of the KJV as a feature of the week. Good numbers of young people, parents and other friends and contacts came out, many of whom had never been in the Hall before. The local mayor and his wife attended one evening and listened very respectably. The assembly was greatly encouraged by the interest shown.
Brother John Frost writes: Prior to Christmas various activities took place and we were encouraged by the response that we saw. The Carol Service on Christmas Eve and the Christmas Dinner for the homeless gave wonderful opportunities for presenting the gospel to very many unsaved. A number of them were in the hall for the first time and there was excellent attention and interest by all who were present. During the early days of the New Year we have been distributing gospel calendars in English and various languages and these too have been well received. Other works recommencing in January are the "Free Breakfast" on Tuesdays the "DropIn" on Thursdays and the "English Class" on Wednesdays. Pray that this year many will be saved.
Here are some excerpts from Michael Cordiners recent newsletter. The Drop In work at the office continues to be open for a couple of hours each day. This has worked well as a place to follow up with contacts made at the soup kitchen and to hold small bible studies. Schools work has been good for getting access to share a little about the work in which we are involved. At one primary school in Broughty Ferry it was a joy to be able to tell a good few hundred pupils that God is able to save anyone. Continue to pray for the work done through the Jiffy Truck. We have had some wonderful conversations over the past year and many have opened up and seem that step closer to salvation. Pray also for those who have been through rehab centres in an effort to come off drugs. "Dan Mac and Andy" who have all trusted Christ as saviour need to be remembered with others like them, as they move on to a new phase in their lives away from the relative security of a rehab centre.
Jack Hay has been encouraged in his own area with attendances at anything special that was arranged over the Christmas period. Invitations were distributed round Comrie to hear the gospel on Christmas Eve and the response was gratifying. Particularly encouraging was the presence of the mother and father of a brother in the Lord. This was the only time they had come to anything except when they attended their son's baptism quite a number of years ago. Similarly when preaching the Gospel in Perth on Christmas day it was again encouraging to see the mother of a young sister present. She had never been in the hall before. Pray for their salvation.
The Culloden Assembly held a weekend of special meetings in November on the subject of the Bible, taking advantage of the 400th anniversary of the King James Version. Tom Wilson was the speaker, and the assembly was encouraged to see excellent attendance at all the meetings and several unconverted present over the weekend. The subject was of interest to believers from other places, and a number spoke of being blessed. We continue to pray that the Lord will use the Word presented to awaken and save
Meeting at Christmastime.
Nitish Patel reports; After seeing a few Hindu men saved, we were praying that the Lord would save some ladies too. The Lord answered that prayer and sent a Hindu lady to us in October. Her name is Bena and she told us that she started reading the Bible in 2006 after glancing over to see a Bible someone was reading on the bus next to her. She bought a Bible for herself and had been looking for a Bible study. The Lord led her to Wembley Gospel Hall and she has been regularly attending our Monday meeting. She was in tears when she told us of the joy she had within, at finding a place where she can have her questions answered. She told us that she had stopped worshipping idols after she read the book of Judges and saw it was wrong. She is very close to the kingdom of God and we value prayer that she will be saved soon. Recently a young Gujarati lady named Anu joined the Bible class. She is from India and seeking the Lord. We pray that she will continue to attend and find salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jim McMaster reports that they have seen a steady stream of people from the soup kitchen work, come into the gospel hall to hear the gospel preached. Several are showing a deepening concern for their soul and one man who is blinded by modern philosophy has been earnestly seeking the truth. 2011 has seen 10 of those who regularly attended, losing their lives as a result of addiction or violence on the street! The Good News van continues to be the focus of the work and is recognized all over the city. The Jail work goes on with visitation to the cells on the wings and the Bible Class continues to give encouragement. An urgent need for prayer would be the appointment of a new chaplain. Please pray that he will be sympathetic to the gospel and that this needy work will not be hindered.
Here is a recent summary from Wesley Downs year end report.
Graeme Patterson was with the assembly here for a week’s children’s meetings in the hall. The number of children present was in the mid 20’s each evening with a couple of parents also coming in. Also during the week Graeme went into local schools to take assemblies and spoke to just under 1000 children, each receiving a gospel calendar. It was good to see the continued interest of the children in attending the meetings and of the schools to give access for assemblies.
The assembly put on a Bible Exhibition in October. It was advertised to commemorate 400 years of the KJV Bible. Around 50 adults and 300 school children came. Stephen Baker was with the assembly all week, and stayed for a second week during which children's meetings were held with up to 30 children coming daily, including some new ones.
The assembly at Auchinleck was greatly encouraged during nine weeks of gospel meetings with Ian Robertson. Many local people attended the meetings and some professed salvation. They also had the joy of four people being baptized on the last Friday of the year when good numbers from the district also attended the meeting.
Gospel Meetings in Buckie (October/November) with Joe Baxter and Martin Hunter.
Two weeks of gospel meetings in Clifton Gospel Hall, South Norwood saw good numbers of folk brought under the sound of the gospel. Night by night Jonathan Black faithfully preached the message of salvation.
Two weeks of tent meetings in Bicester during August with Terry Topley and Dan Gillies saw a good interest from the locality. Over 70 adults and children filled the tent on the last evening of the first week, and numerous new contacts have been integrated into the regular weekly meetings since then. In Wallingford during October a week of the Bible Exhibition was followed by a week of children’s meetings with Stephen Baker.
J Rogers concluded gospel meetings on 8 September. Local believers covered a large area around the hall prior to the commencement of the meetings with approximately 4500 homes being visited. Some came and heard the Gospel. Opportunity arose which enabled the privilege of presenting the gospel in many homes. Quite a few new contacts were made which the local saints will follow up with a view to having them attend their weekly gospel meeting. God was pleased to bless in salvation. Neighbouring assemblies gave great support which was very much appreciated.
Reports and forthcoming meetings in N.I. as at the beginning of October.
David Morgan has had a number of gospel tent campaigns over the summer. Although the numbers have been small the gospel has been faithfully preached. At Aberystwith about 12 souls came in but no real interest was seen which was disappointing for the little assembly. Although few in number they have a great interest in the district which they regularly visit with tracts and they have a great desire to maintain the principles of gathering. David found it a real joy to be among them to encourage their faithfulness. Four days were spent as well standing outside the Royal Welsh Show at Builth Wells. In previous years as many as 40,000 people passed by but with coach transportation from the car park into the show, this is now reduced to around 7,000. However the majority of people were still able to hear the gospel over the amplifier as they returned to their cars in the evenings.
